@subsubheading Question 1.3
Where and how to get Gnus?
Gnus is released independent from releases of Emacs and XEmacs.
Therefore, the version bundled with Emacs or the version in XEmacs'
package system might not be up to date (e.g. Gnus 5.9 bundled with Emacs
-20 is outdated).
-@c
+21 is outdated).
You can get the latest released version of Gnus from

Which mailing lists and newsgroups are there?
@subsubheading Answer
There's the newsgroup gnu.emacs.gnus (also available as
-@uref{http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.user,
-gmane.emacs.gnus.user}) which deals with general Gnus questions. If you
-have questions about development versions of Gnus, you should better ask
-on the ding mailing list, see below.

If you want to stay in the big8,
news.software.newssreaders is also read by some Gnus
